About this episode

In this episode, Carlos Gonzalez de Villaumbrosia interviews Noam Lovinsky, Chief Product Officer at Grammarly, the AI-native productivity platform with over 40 million daily active users and $700 million in annual revenue.

Grammarly began as a trusted writing assistant, but it’s now redefining productivity at scale. With the recent acquisitions of Superhuman, the lightning-fast AI-powered email client ($825M), and Coda, the flexible doc-based workspace tool, Grammarly is evolving into a full-stack AI productivity platform. This expansion signals a bold product vision—one that positions Grammarly at the center of modern knowledge work.

Noam leads Grammarly’s product organization with a focus on combining human expertise with AI agents to unlock next-level collaboration. In this episode, he unpacks the strategy behind Grammarly’s product evolution, how they’re designing extensible systems for third-party developers, and why the future of work is not just AI-assisted—but AI-augmented. He also shares how his teams balance speed and scale, and what it takes to build high-performing product orgs around a radically expanding vision.

What you’ll learn:
- Why Grammarly is moving beyond writing to become a full AI-native productivity suite.
- The product rationale behind acquiring Superhuman and Coda—and what’s next.
- How Grammarly’s extensibility strategy is creating a powerful product moat.
- Noam’s approach to building teams that combine human judgment with AI agents.

Key Takeaways 👇
- AI-Native Productivity: How Grammarly is leveraging agents and integrations to expand beyond writing into email, docs, and more.
- Product Strategy in Action: Noam’s thinking behind major acquisitions and platform expansion.
- Scaling Great Teams: Why high-impact teams need both principled thinking and flexible systems to thrive in fast-moving environments.
